In this recording of our Breach & Beyond webinar series, Nedscaper's cybersecurity and AI specialists return to the fundamentals of agentic AI. Using current developments, real-world examples, and insights from our Security Operations Center (SOC), they explore how organizations can adopt AI securely and at scale.
Watch the webinar on demand and discover the security and governance challenges organizations must address as AI systems become increasingly autonomous.
From AI assistant to AI agent
Many organizations are already using AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot. The next step is already emerging: AI agents that can independently perform tasks, combine information, and initiate actions across business processes and IT environments.
This creates significant opportunities, but it also requires a different approach to security.
How do you prevent an agent from accessing information or systems that are not necessary for its task? How do you detect prompt injection, misuse, or unintended actions? And who remains accountable as AI becomes increasingly autonomous?
In this webinar, we make agentic AI tangible and practical. Rather than focusing on science fiction scenarios, we explore the risks and governance challenges organizations need to address today.
Project Perception: A new step forward in AI for Security
The webinar also explores Project Perception, Microsoft's agentic security system in which specialized AI agents work together.
Red Team agents proactively search for vulnerabilities. Blue Team agents investigate threats and assess their impact. Green Team agents help organizations remediate risks and strengthen their security posture.
This development highlights how rapidly AI for Security is evolving. At the same time, it raises important questions about governance, accountability, and human oversight.
The webinar places these developments in a broader context and explores what they could mean for security teams, organizations, and the future of security operations.
Because no matter how powerful AI becomes, technology does not assume responsibility. People set the direction, evaluate risks, and remain accountable for the decisions that matter most.
What you'll learn
After watching this webinar, you will have a better understanding of:
- What AI agents are and how they differ from AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot.
- The security and governance risks that arise when AI can independently perform tasks and take actions.
- Why identity, access management, monitoring, and human oversight are critical for agentic AI.
- How developments such as Project Perception could influence the future of security operations.
- How AI can support security professionals with analysis, investigation, and response.
- How the Microsoft Security Stack can help secure and monitor AI environments.
- How Nedscaper applies AI within its SOC and the practical lessons we have learned along the way.
- The next steps your organization can take to adopt AI responsibly and maintain control as capabilities evolve.

Key takeaways from the session
1. AI governance is the new challenge - the biggest risk is not a rogue AI agent, but the growing number of agents operating without clear ownership, visibility, or oversight.
2. Secure your data before securing AI - AI can only be as secure as the data it can access. Classification, permissions, and access controls remain the foundation of AI security.
3. Visibility comes first - Organizations need to know which agents exist, who owns them, what they can access, and what actions they can take.
4. Protect AI while it's running - Runtime protections can help detect and block threats such as prompt injection before they cause harm.
5. Keep humans in control - AI can accelerate investigations and decision-making, but critical business and security actions should still require human approval.
